A58336	A divine looking-glass, or, The third and last testament of Our Lord Jesus Christ whose personal residence is seated on his throne of eternal glory in another world : being the commission of the spirit, agreeing with, and explaining of the two former commissions of the law and Gospel, differing only in point of worship : set forth for the tryal of all sorts of supposed spiritual lights in the world, until the ever-lasting true Jesus, the onely high and mighty God, pesonally appear in the air with his saints and angels / by John Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton ...

simple_a in_o awe_n under_o their_o ruler_n but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o fear_v of_o man_n if_o they_o can_v have_v their_o will_n they_o will_v burn_v all_o the_o scripture_n in_o the_o world_n to_o ash_n and_o in_o stead_n of_o fear_v any_o fiery_a vengeance_n follow_v they_o their_o unbelieving_a sear_a spirit_n will_v great_o rejoice_v at_o it_o as_o a_o most_o noble_a or_o profitable_a act_n to_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o prevent_v all_o literal_a contestation_n concern_v a_o god_n or_o glory_n or_o misery_n to_o come_v 10_o some_o man_n will_v imagine_v these_o witness_n to_o be_v the_o magistrate_n and_o the_o minister_n 11_o now_o you_o may_v know_v that_o can_v be_v because_o both_o magistrate_n and_o minister_n be_v either_o choose_v by_o one_o another_o or_o by_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o people_n in_o stead_n of_o be_v choose_v by_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n himself_o or_o a_o true_a prophet_n send_v forth_o by_o his_o eternal_a spirit_n for_o that_o purpose_n 12_o it_o be_v write_v that_o the_o witness_n have_v a_o powerful_a gift_n of_o pprophecy_n now_o you_o know_v that_o since_o god_n become_v flesh_n instead_o of_o the_o magistrate_n or_o minister_n own_v themselves_o to_o be_v commissionated_a witness_n or_o prophet_n of_o the_o divine_a majesty_n for_o the_o most_o part_n if_o man_n have_v appear_v upon_o that_o account_n they_o have_v persecute_v they_o by_o imprisonment_n stripe_n banishment_n or_o death_n itself_o 13_o again_o it_o be_v write_v the_o witness_n be_v clothe_v in_o sackcloth_n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v the_o magistrate_n or_o the_o minister_n because_o you_o know_v that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o be_v rather_o clothe_v in_o satin_n or_o other_o costly_a garment_n than_o sackcloth_n or_o mean_a apparel_n wherefore_o see_v all_o magistrate_n with_o their_o minister_n be_v choose_v by_o man_n only_o through_o the_o secret_a decree_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n and_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o instead_o of_o honour_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n and_o glory_n or_o show_v mercy_n unto_o his_o prophet_n for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o seek_v the_o honour_n of_o one_o another_o and_o persecute_v his_o messenger_n and_o rejoice_v in_o feast_v one_o another_o through_o the_o fasting_n of_o other_o 14_o it_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o light_n unto_o any_o man_n who_o heart_n be_v not_o stone_n blind_a that_o they_o be_v none_o of_o the_o witness_n prophesy_v of_o by_o st._n john_n in_o the_o eleven_o of_o the_o revelation_n 14_o another_o sort_n of_o atheistical_a people_n there_o be_v that_o will_v imagine_v themselves_o to_o imply_v the_o two_o witness_n there_o speak_v of_o say_v the_o two_o witness_n be_v within_o they_o or_o every_o man_n soul_n and_o body_n be_v those_o two_o witness_n and_o such_o like_a 15_o now_o you_o may_v know_v that_o this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o any_o spiritual_a truth_n that_o there_o be_v no_o sense_n or_o reason_n in_o it_o why_o though_o a_o man_n be_v call_v soul_n body_n and_o spirit_n yet_o he_o be_v but_o one_o person_n only_o you_o know_v he_o can_v be_v no_o more_o than_o one_o witness_n upon_o what_o account_n soever_o 16_o again_o the_o invisible_a witness_n of_o man_n conscience_n concern_v man_n own_a particular_a only_o between_o god_n and_o man_n or_o between_o man_n and_o man_n and_o god_n only_o wise_a perfect_o see_v that_o witness_n always_o and_o not_o man_n therefore_o that_o can_v be_v the_o witness_n here_o speak_v of_o because_o you_o know_v that_o the_o witness_n or_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v always_o visible_a while_o they_o have_v a_o be_v in_o this_o world_n 17_o thus_o it_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o light_n that_o none_o of_o all_o these_o be_v those_o two_o witness_n speak_v of_o by_o st._n john_n but_o meet_v imaginary_a fancy_n of_o man_n own_o brain_n for_o want_v of_o a_o divine_a light_n in_o they_o to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o true_a witness_n send_v forth_o by_o the_o creator_n himself_o and_o the_o false_a one_o that_o go_v before_o they_o be_v send_v 18_o again_o it_o be_v write_v but_o i_o will_v give_v power_n unto_o my_o two_o witness_n and_o they_o shall_v prophesy_v my_o spiritual_a brethren_n you_o may_v know_v that_o when_o john_n speak_v those_o word_n that_o the_o two_o witness_n be_v to_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o bear_v testimony_n unto_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o two_o past_a witness_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o the_o text_n say_v but_o i_o will_v give_v power_n unto_o my_o two_o witness_n and_o they_o shall_v prophesy_v 19_o and_o you_o know_v according_a to_o the_o truth_n of_o unerring_a scripture_n the_o two_o former_a witness_n have_v power_n give_v they_o from_o the_o lord_n and_o they_o do_v prophesy_v in_o their_o time_n 20_o so_o that_o you_o may_v understand_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v purpose_n to_o raise_v two_o man_n in_o this_o atheistical_a age_n out_o of_o the_o very_a ash_n of_o the_o two_o former_a witness_n not_o only_o for_o discovery_n of_o all_o lie_a appearance_n in_o his_o name_n as_o they_o do_v in_o their_o time_n but_o also_o for_o a_o more_o clear_a manifestation_n of_o the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n then_o ever_o be_v since_o this_o world_n begin_v 21_o you_o that_o be_v spiritual_a may_v know_v that_o since_o the_o lord_n two_o former_a witness_n fall_v asleep_a in_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n not_o a_o man_n have_v powerful_o appear_v to_o bear_v witness_n unto_o one_o distinct_a personal_a creator_n as_o they_o do_v until_o we_o come_v forth_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o year_n 1651._o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o voice_n of_o word_n speak_v unto_o i_o by_o his_o eternal_a spirit_n three_o morning_n together_o to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o ear_n as_o a_o man_n speak_v to_o his_o friend_n 22_o again_o the_o scripture_n call_v they_o by_o the_o name_n of_o two_o witness_n only_o wherefore_o if_o any_o man_n add_v to_o their_o number_n or_o despise_v they_o because_o they_o appear_v not_o like_o a_o god_n to_o bring_v fire_n down_o from_o heaven_n or_o turn_v water_n into_o blood_n or_o such_o like_a natural_a plague_n or_o miracle_n as_o have_v be_v act_v already_o if_o there_o be_v any_o truth_n in_o the_o scripture_n can_v that_o man_n escape_v the_o plague_n of_o god_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v threaten_v in_o such_o a_o call_n 23_o again_o you_o know_v it_o be_v say_v the_o lord_n give_v power_n unto_o the_o two_o witness_n to_o prophesy_v be_v not_o this_o answerable_a unto_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o say_v unto_o i_o that_o he_o have_v give_v i_o understanding_n above_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o have_v choose_v i_o as_o his_o last_o messenger_n for_o a_o great_a work_n unto_o this_o bloody_a unbelieve_a world_n and_o have_v give_v i_o lodowick_n mugleton_n to_o be_v my_o mouth_n 24_o you_o know_v that_o the_o witness_n be_v say_v to_o be_v two_o olive_n tree_n and_o two_o candlestick_n stand_v before_o the_o god_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n my_o belove_a spiritual_a brethren_n have_v not_o the_o glorious_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n both_o by_o speak_v and_o write_v manifest_v through_o our_o earthly_a candlestick_n or_o mortal_a mouth_n more_o divine_a oil_n or_o golden_a truth_n then_o in_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o 25_o again_o you_o know_v it_o be_v say_v the_o witness_n be_v clothe_v with_o sackcloth_n i_o humble_o beseech_v you_o that_o have_v true_o taste_v of_o the_o

again_o you_o know_v it_o be_v write_v if_o any_o man_n will_v hurt_v they_o fire_n procee_v out_o of_o their_o mouth_n and_o devour_v their_o enemy_n my_o spiritual_a friend_n be_v not_o this_o answerable_a unto_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o say_v unto_o i_o i_o have_v put_v the_o two_o edge_a sword_n of_o my_o spirit_n into_o thy_o mouth_n that_o whoever_o i_o pronounce_v

brethren_n you_o know_v that_o the_o heavenly_a nature_n of_o the_o divine_a majesty_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o all_o variety_n of_o glorious_a excellency_n 33_o also_o you_o know_v that_o the_o creator_n spirit_n be_v variety_n of_o spiritual_a perfection_n he_o can_v create_v nothing_o against_o his_o glory_n but_o for_o his_o glory_n only_o because_o that_o glory_n of_o he_o be_v himself_o or_o his_o all_o in_o all_o or_o only_a pillar_n upon_o which_o he_o build_v his_o everlasting_a kingdom_n 34_o wherefore_o if_o angel_n or_o man_n have_v be_v frame_v in_o unchangeable_a condition_n then_o in_o stead_n of_o make_v know_v his_o manifold_a divine_a glory_n to_o his_o creature_n he_o must_v have_v create_v thing_n for_o his_o own_o eternal_a ruin_n 35_o for_o if_o such_o a_o thing_n can_v possible_o have_v be_v in_o stead_n of_o be_v creature_n as_o aforesaid_a they_o will_v all_o have_v be_v creator_n and_o be_v unchangeable_a it_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v avoid_v but_o they_o must_v all_o have_v share_v in_o or_o of_o the_o creator_n unchangeable_a glory_n also_o 36_o moreover_o if_o the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n shall_v be_v divide_v into_o three_o divine_a person_n as_o many_o man_n blind_o imagine_v than_o you_o know_v that_o be_v all_o eternal_a they_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v equal_a in_o godhead_n wisdom_n power_n and_o glory_n a_o kingdom_n thus_o divide_v can_v stand_v 37_o for_o you_o that_o be_v true_o spiritual_a know_v that_o all_o the_o true_a prophet_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n do_v never_o acknowledge_v any_o more_o god_n than_o that_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n only_o and_o by_o inspiration_n they_o attribute_v many_o holy_a name_n unto_o his_o divine_a majesty_n for_o the_o exaltation_n of_o his_o glorious_a person_n above_o all_o angel_n and_o man_n 38_o moreover_o you_o know_v that_o in_o scripture_n it_o be_v write_v that_o the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n will_v not_o give_v his_o glory_n to_o another_o 39_o therefore_o what_o ever_o man_n vain_o dream_v of_o a_o creator_n or_o god_n or_o three_o person_n or_o of_o a_o bodiless_a infinite_a spirit_n yet_o unto_o we_o that_o be_v heir_n of_o

and_o before_o he_o speak_v unto_o that_o senseless_a chaos_n he_o do_v perfect_o know_v or_o believe_v in_o himself_o that_o out_o of_o that_o dead_a dust_n his_o very_a wo●ds_n will_v produce_v so_o many_o several_a sensible_a live_a body_n in_o his_o sight_n though_o those_o word_n proceed_v from_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o man_n 3_o yet_o you_o may_v know_v that_o they_o be_v not_o the_o

power_n or_o glory_n over_o the_o word_n which_o he_o have_v speak_v 4_o moreover_o you_o know_v that_o a_o man_n with_o great_a ease_n may_v spare_v a_o few_o word_n without_o any_o trouble_n of_o mind_n in_o reference_n to_o what_o use_n he_o see_v fit_a to_o employ_v they_o they_o be_v his_o own_o workmanship_n can_v any_o sober_a man_n deny_v this_o man_n prerogative_n pleasure_n with_o his_o own_o i_o trow_v not_o 5_o this_o be_v the_o creator_n very_a case_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o creation_n and_o who_o dare_v to_o speak_v against_o it_o no_o spiritual_a wise_a man_n i_o be_o sure_a only_o some_o lustful_a person_n may_v dispute_v against_o it_o though_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o own_o reason_n when_o it_o be_v sober_a 6_o but_o deed_n of_o darkness_n hate_v the_o

will_n or_o righteous_a way_n 7._o thus_o you_o which_o be_v true_o spiritual_a may_v understand_v that_o neither_o the_o spirit_n of_o angel_n no_o nor_o of_o the_o man_n adam_n himself_o be_v of_o the_o divine_a essence_n in_o their_o creation_n it_o be_v truth_n the_o soul_n of_o adam_n be_v of_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n but_o it_o be_v a_o create_a nature_n or_o virtue_n which_o bring_v forth_o its_o pure_a natural_a body_n as_o its_o house_n or_o tabernacle_n of_o abode_n so_o that_o as_o the_o body_n have_v a_o beginning_n of_o dust_n through_o which_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o change_n 8_o so_o likewise_o when_o that_o divine_a soul_n be_v cover_v with_o a_o earthly_a temple_n it_o be_v capable_a of_o mutability_n though_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o immutable_a glory_n 9_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a though_o the_o spiritual_a body_n of_o angel_n have_v begin_v also_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o change_v but_o their_o spirit_n not_o be_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n of_o he_o that_o make_v they_o be_v whole_o subject_a to_o mutability_n 10_o for_o the_o angel_n spirit_n be_v pure_a reason_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o what_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o most_o pure_a reason_n be_v it_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o all_o pure_a desire_n and_o what_o be_v the_o original_n of_o the_o most_o pure_a or_o perfect_a desire_n that_o be_v be_v it_o not_o a_o want_n of_o something_o that_o be_v desire_v or_o a_o kind_n of_o unsatisfaction_n until_o its_o desire_n be_v satisfy_v from_o some_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o inherent_a in_o itself_o 11_o again_o my_o spiritual_a brethren_n be_v it_o possible_a think_v you_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v the_o least_o motion_n of_o the_o most_o pure_a desire_n that_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o spirit_n which_o be_v all_o fullness_n of_o divine_a satisfaction_n in_o itself_o 12_o or_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o that_o spirit_n that_o have_v any_o desire_n in_o its_o nature_n shall_v enjoy_v fullness_n of_o content_n in_o itself_o 13_o wherefore_o though_o the_o holy_a god_n create_v that_o angelical_a reason_n of_o all_o pure_a desire_n let_v no_o spiritual_a wise_a man_n call_v it_o his_o divine_a nature_n 14_o why_o because_o you_o know_v there_o can_v be_v no_o kind_n of_o desire_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o immortal_a god_n that_o be_v all_o variety_n of_o glorious_a satisfaction_n in_o itself_o as_o beforesaid_a 15_o but_o let_v he_o know_v from_o the_o true_a light_n of_o life_n that_o the_o creator_n by_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n or_o power_n from_o a_o word_n speak_v unto_o dust_n can_v create_v yea_o and_o do_v make_v divers_a live_a creature_n and_o yet_o not_o one_o motion_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o create_a being_n be_v inherent_a in_o his_o heavenly_a spirit_n 16_o therefore_o you_o that_o be_v possess_v with_o that_o new_a and_o true_a divine_a birth_n from_o the_o immortal_a throne_n may_v know_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o elect_a angel_n be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o glorious_a nature_n of_o his_o spirit_n but_o only_o a_o create_v rational_a spirit_n of_o all_o pure_a

those_o that_o he_o shall_v reveal_v they_o unto_o 3_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n call_v it_o eat_v because_o of_o the_o civility_n of_o that_o speech_n for_o the_o scripture_n language_n be_v much_o

himself_o by_o his_o bless_a birth_n 5_o moreover_o you_o know_v if_o a_o spiritual_a or_o natural_a thing_n be_v propound_v to_o the_o understanding_n of_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n of_o which_o they_o

with_o the_o whole_a man_n 6_o so_o likewise_o in_o the_o word_n eat_v you_o may_v know_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v this_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o eve_n shall_v beware_v of_o harken_v unto_o any_o other_o voice_n that_o be_v contrary_a unto_o that_o divine_a image_n or_o voice_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n within_o she_o so_o that_o if_o she_o shall_v

of_o god_n see_v it_o most_o fit_a to_o act_v otherwise_o 8_o therefore_o what_o ever_o the_o learned_a man_n of_o this_o world_n dream_n of_o find_v out_o the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o eternity_n by_o search_v into_o the_o scripture_n record_n and_o compare_v they_o together_o the_o divine_a majesty_n have_v lock_v up_o all_o the_o principal_a secret_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o his_o own_o

and_o their_o consolation_n 9_o therefore_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n run_v not_o in_o the_o line_n of_o reason_n but_o in_o the_o line_n of_o faith_n inspiration_n or_o revelation_n according_a to_o those_o say_n in_o the_o hebrew_n and_o other_o record_n 10_o by_o faith_n the_o divine_a work_n of_o creation_n and_o wonderful_a mystery_n of_o redemption_n be_v and_o be_v know_v with_o the_o immortal_a eternal_a glory_n and_o everlasting_a shame_n of_o man_n person_n in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 11_o but_o of_o the_o contrary_a you_o shall_v never_o read_v in_o any_o place_n of_o

abundant_o beforesaid_a 14_o why_o because_o though_o the_o spirit_n of_o reason_n be_v never_o so_o pure_a yet_o you_o may_v know_v its_o nature_n be_v but_o desire_v only_o after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n of_o that_o spirit_n from_o whence_o it_o have_v its_o live_a being_n 15_o but_o of_o the_o contrary_a spiritual_a truth_n or_o faith_n be_v of_o the_o very_a divine_a nature_n of_o god_n himself_o in_o what_o soul_n soever_o that_o heavenly_a seed_n be_v sow_o it_o spring_v up_o in_o that_o spirit_n with_o variety_n of_o glorious_a consolation_n in_o reference_n unto_o life_n eternal_a by_o virtue_n of_o a_o intercourse_n with_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v 16_o moreover_o i_o confess_v that_o a_o man_n that_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o solomon-like_a gift_n of_o natural_a reason_n may_v be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v all_o word_n whether_o they_o be_v speak_v in_o a_o good_a form_n sense_n or_o language_n or_o no_o and_o to_o be_v

this_o be_v for_o want_v of_o a_o infallibility_n of_o truth_n itself_o 18_o therefore_o though_o the_o divine_a thing_n of_o the_o eternal_a majesty_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o spiritual_a purity_n of_o infallible_a truth_n in_o themselves_o yet_o unto_o that_o rational_a wise_a man_n they_o be_v nothing_o but_o nonsensical_a blasphemy_n or_o lie_v tale_n till_o his_o reason_n be_v confound_v
